Financial Assistance Award; Oklahoma State University

AGENCY: Department of Energy, Golden Field Office and Dallas Support 
Office.

ACTION: Notice of noncompetitive financial assistance award.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE), Golden Field Office, through 
the Dallas Support Office, announces that it intends to award a grant 
to Oklahoma State University (OSU)/International Ground Source Heat 
Pump Association (IGSHPA). The proposed award meets the criteria in 10 
CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i)(B) in addition to the type of factors listed in 10 
CFR 600.14(d). The financial assistance is for support of the 
Geothermal Technical Development/Training Project.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Geothermal Technical Development and 
Training Project will be one of the most significant national efforts 
for developing and promoting the use of ground source heat pumps as an 
energy efficient and environmentally beneficial method of heating and 
cooling buildings. This project will integrate research, technology 
transfer and training to develop better hardware and software used to 
implement the technology, as well as the production of brochures, case 
histories, fact sheets, articles and related media activities to 
promote the use of geothermal heating and cooling. Advances in ground 
source heat pump efficiency and installation techniques, as well as 
reductions in installation costs, make the cost of this technology 
comparable with those of competitive heating and cooling technologies, 
while operating costs and energy usage are demonstrably lower. This is 
especially important for institutional and government facilities faced 
with budget constraints and increasing utility expenditures. The DOE 
anticipates providing funds in the amount of $295,000 for a project 
period of one year with possible funding, in varying amounts, for an 
additional two years contingent on the availability of funds.

Energy, Dallas Support Office, 1420 West Mockingbird Lane, Suite 400, 
Dallas, TX 75247.
